Restore msvcrt10.dll from the Recycle Bin. The easiest possible cause of a "missing" msvcrt10.dll file is that you've mistakenly deleted it. If you suspect that you've accidentally deleted msvcrt10.dll but you've already emptied the Recycle Bin, you may be able to recover msvcrt10.dll with a free file recovery program.

Recovering a deleted copy of msvcrt10.dll with a file recovery program is a smart idea only if you're confident you've deleted the file yourself and that it was working properly before you did that. Download and install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 from Microsoft.

Reinstall the program that uses the msvcrt10.dll file. If the msvcrt10.dll DLL error persists after installing the redistributable above and you see the error when using a particular program, reinstalling that program should replace the file. Run a virus/malware scan of your entire system.

If, for example, you're receiving a "The file msvcrt10.dll is missing" error when you play a 3D video game, try updating the drivers for your video card. The msvcrt10.dll file may or may not be related to video cards—this was just an example. The key here is to pay very close attention to the context of the error and troubleshoot accordingly.

If this DLL file is provided by Microsoft, the System File Checker tool should restore it. Install any available Windows updates. Many service packs and other patches replace or update some of the hundreds of Microsoft distributed DLL files on your computer.

The msvcrt10.dll file could be included in one of those updates. Test your memory and then test your hard drive. We've left the majority of hardware troubleshooting to the last step, but your computer's memory and hard drive are easy to test and are the most likely components that might cause msvcrt10.dll errors as they fail.
